The Digital Commons for Ethical Commodities - TOKEN2049 Singapore 2022
Explore the transformative potential of the "Digital Commons for Ethical Commodities" presented at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2022. Mariam, with her extensive background managing origination and investments for Shell Trading, pulls from her rich experience to address some of the most pressing dilemmas of our era: the complexities of commodity supply chains, environmental sustainability, and financial inclusivity. In this compelling talk, Mariam underlines the critical role decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain technology play in reshaping the commodity markets to be more transparent, efficient, and ethically sourced.
Mariam introduces the innovative "Water Protocol," a foundational layer one protocol that prioritizes decentralized identity and trade execution on-chain, fostering a world where real-world assets, like commodities, can be tokenized and made programmable. Explore how these advancements could revolutionize everything from agriculture supply chains to the voluntary carbon market, enabling more efficient, inclusive, and ethical trade practices.
This presentation not only highlights infrastructural innovations but also delves into practical applications and partnerships, showcasing real-world examples like FarmCrowdy and Agric in Nigeria, which utilize crowdsourcing and DeFi to enhance food security and agricultural efficiency.
